2017 Zárate Caiño Tinto

I loved the 2017 Caíño since I first put my nose in the glass. It's pale, ethereal and floral, with a spicy touch. Caíño was the classical red wine people drunk in Rías Baixas, and the grape had higher commercial value than Albariño, which didn't really take off until the 1980s. Then we forgot about the reds and even thought Rías Baixas was only white wine. This is a great category that very much fits with the preference for lighter and gastronomical reds with moderate alcohol and great freshness. This should also age nicely in bottle. 1,330 bottles were filled in September 2017.
